Capital Area Golf Tournament

On this, the 40th Anniversary year, the Capital Area Golf Tournament will honor the memory of the 220 Marines of 1st Battalion/8th Marines that lost their lives on 23 October 1983 when a suicide truck bomber attacked the U.S. Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.

The bravery and sacrifice of the Marines from the 1/8 in the face of this terrorist attack should never be forgotten. They exemplified the highest ideals of service, honor, and dedication to their mission. The loss suffered by the battalion and their families serves as a stark reminder of the risks and sacrifices made by military personnel around the world.

This year’s Capital Area Tournament will be held on September 25, 2023 at the Army Navy Country Club.

Registration for golf is now open. Please don’t hesitate to contact Col Scott “Boy” Arnold, USMC (Ret) at capitalgolf@mcsf.org with any questions or concerns.

If You Can, You Must Scholarship Initiative

More than 14 years ago, Dakota Meyer, a U.S. Marine serving in the War in Afghanistan, risked his life to bravely save the lives of U.S. and Afghan forces in the Battle of Ganjgal. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, the first living Marine in more than forty years to receive the award. Since leaving active duty, Dakota has embraced opportunities for continued service. Through his partnership with the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, the “If You Can, You Must” Scholarship will provide educational scholarships to the children of Marines and inspire the future leaders of America.
